“As one of your commenters observed: ‘I doubt that the writing of a young theology prof in an obscure Baptist state convention college will set the norm for any seminary or for the SBC at large …'”
Among several reactions I have to this commentor’s opinion, these jump to the fore:

1. Perhaps the priest (et al) in Wittenberg thought the same of Luther.
2. Ditto, Re: Goliath and his army of the shepherd-boy David.

These two points’ foci are on the ‘obscure’ existence of two who changed their worlds.
Further, whereas all analogies break down, none of the principals in your or Moore’s essays do I consider to be Catholic or Philistine. To the stark contrary, these principals are our brothers in Christ.
As a “young theology prof in an obscure Baptist state convention college,” you have winsomely overcome these debilitating impediments to raise a significant and legitimate question of those who are not of a different faith or who wage war from across no-man’s land, but who, as honorable soldiers of the cross and brothers-in-arms, wage war against a common evil so that souls may be swept into God’s kingdom. Given that we all labor in the same trenches, I find the silence of these compatriots deafening — with the exception of the commentor you cited. I am left only to wonder why he would assess your inquiry in such a manner — Norm
